If a building company says failures and injuries and even death is typical - Jesus Christ - this company should have no business doing business in NYC ever
Of course it’s normal when you hire uneducated labor and cut corners
Are you kidding me??? Every word of this quote from the developer of the collapsing building makes me both sick and infuriated. Nothing about a building collapsing - or a crane falling or a worker dying - is typical. https://t.co/YotZdfKJSy
Just realized Keith said “when you get called off as an infielder you run out of the way, you don’t fall to the ground”
Subtle dig at whatever the hell Lindor been doing this season.
@the_transit_guy Yes but without bracing or shoring or support columns installed, it’s a construction issue. Mostly engineering but an experienced crew will notice you can’t do this
Steel is a remarkable material. It deforming like this visibly without collapse bought time for hundreds to evacuate.
If this were concrete or wood under this kind of overload, it would have more likely been sudden and catastrophic.
This rotting death trap entering the BQE from Hamilton Ave in Brooklyn is NYC “infrastructure.” One good shake and it buries commuters alive. @NYCMayor@GovKathyHochul too busy with scandals, photo-ops & grift to fix it? Blood on your hands when it collapses. @FoxNews@RosannaScotto show the truth before the body count rises. @nypost
This is who benefits from Kathy Hochul's New York.
Criminals walk free thanks to cashless bail, insiders cash in on energy rate hikes, and families are packing up and leaving the state.
When I am Governor, I will repeal cashless bail, end sanctuary policies, cut energy bills in half, and finally put working families first.
@RDHT_91@WillChiarucci Fact 2: the GC went with non-union labor bc it was cheaper. They chose profit over safety.
If they made that choice in one facet of the job (labor) who’s to say they didn’t make that choice in other decisions. Like materials. Like planning. Like engineering.
@RDHT_91@WillChiarucci The facts are this:
The union steamfitters noticed the partial collapse. They forced the job to evacuate. Non-union workers, whether without knowledge do e or experience OR fear of speaking up, kept working.
So Union workers ARE safer and DID do something
